Linux is a multiuser system and there is nothing special about its
local console. Users can log in over the network with a variety of
methods, either with command line access or a GUI desktop. You may
not be using that capability - or perhaps you just don't know that
others are using it. The Gnome desktop is not happy with multiple
instances running as the same user, though, so perhaps no one is doing
that.

This is a little bit different from normal mounting - that is a
feature built into the Nautilus file manager. It will be able to
copy/paste/edit//execute files from the remote share as internal
operations and but it doesn't make them available as part of the file
system. In this case access would be limited to the instance of
Nautilus that made the connection, much like it would with smbclient.

Logging out of the Gnome desktop should do it, but the whole concept
seems very wrong. Even if all the users are working at the same
console, they should have different logins.
